Chap. 4 An new upside down world
"Robin you are, alright?" I helped him up. I finally noticed he did not have a shirt on, I blushed deeply.
"Yeah, don't worry Star." He brushed the dirt off his arm, then noticed that I was blushing. "Oh, sorry!"
"Eh-hee-hee-hee!" I blushed more.
He diged into his belt and took out a little red square, it formed into a shirt and cape attached to it.
"Where are we anyway?" He asked as he put on his shirt.
Suddenly scary ravens, mixed up with bats and mice, flew over me. They yanked on her hair for a moment.
"Ow! I do not know, but the creatures here are certainly unpleasant and welcoming." I rubbed my head.
We looked around at our surroundings. There was black ash instead of dirt, and smoky fog. Dead, black, slimy, and dropping tree's with bloody eyes. The sky was dark, pitch black, with purple streams of clouds and cold mist. There were bubbling swamps, mazes, ugly small creatures, and odd noises. Even some objects were glued to the sky! Robin and I finally noticed, we were in another dimension, far… far… away from home.
We walked the ashy trail, leaving black on our boots. Gusts of ash and dead leaves in the wind blew in my face, I coughed. Robin patted my back and I jumped. "Sorry friend, Robin. I thought you were something else, like that monster." They headed down into the maze. They were confused, every 5 min, the walls would change.
"Do you think if we travel along this dead road in this, maze, we will make it home?" I asked with a concerned face, but with a little smile.
"Hopefully…" Robin replied looking at the dead vines and black thorns crawling around the walls.
We walked further, then we ended up at a dead end, we turned around and the walls closed behind us. They turned back around and there, standing at the end, was a kind of monster. ((It looked like the one in The Village.)) It ran towards them, husking with its long claws.
My starbolts formed in my hands as it ran closer. I blasted at it. It flew back, Falling on it is face. He turned back around to face us, but noticed I was not their. Robin crouched low to the ground, holding my hands as I crouched lower behind him. The "Thing" came closer.
"NOW!" Robin screamed. He jumped up and swung me under him and over so I sat on his shoulders, starbolts (again), ready to fire. He ran towards it, screaming with me. Robin kicked his stomach, as I blasted his face while sitting on his shoulders. We smiled at each other in victory! Until, it grabbed my hair and threw me up into the air. I crashed into the ash. The thing soon kicked me in the stomach, so hard I flew into the wall. Out off breath, weak, dizzy, tired, and confused on what just happened. My eyes shut. I heard beatings, and growls.
I woke up, shaken from Robin. "Star! You're awake!" I looked over his shoulder at the "thing." It was frozen to the wall and strapped down with vines. His neck was in an odd angle. I made a gruesome face. I was soon out of my thoughts about what Robin did to it, as I was hugged by him. I blushed again. He stopped and looked at my eyes. A cold chill came up at us again. I shivered with goose bumps.
"Here, let me help you." He took off his cape and helped me up. He threw me around his back carefully, he held onto me by holding me under my legs. I took his cape and wrapped it around me to keep warm. I laid my head on his. "C'mon, let's go." He said as he started to walk. We finally made it out of the maze.
Robin spotted a lonely cave, he walked into it and laid Starfire on a rock. He noticed she was fast asleep, probably tired from a long night. He bent down to his knees, rested his arms on the ledge of the rock she slept on, crossed, and rested his head down on them. He gazed at her for moments and thought about the party, Ferris wheel, prom dance, and every other single moment he spent with her. He crouched more over to her and kissed her forehead, then rested again. He soon fell asleep.
